I love to hate the Vanity Project. They are they are the idiots in high school I resented, and I love that. Saints looked good in the win, although he beat a threesome that are rookies, per se. Fun match, although I would have preferred the Evolve champion to not take a clean pin fall. I like the Falls Count Anywhere match between Page and Saints.<\/p>\n<h3>Charlie Dempsey vs. Tavion Heights: Minor Hit<\/h3>\n<p>Good while it lasted. I think Wren Sinclair is the fulcrum in The NQCC right now.

I think this match could\u2019ve gone a few more minutes, but for what it was, it was good. The High Ryze have an incredible upside. They just need a few wins to establish themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Blake Monroe &amp; Jordynne Grace: Hit<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, I enjoyed these vignettes more than I should have.<\/p>\n<h3>Kehlani Jordan vs. Lainey Reid: Minor Hit<\/h3>\n<p>Jordan needs a major personality overhaul. A heel turn would suit her perfectly.<\/p>\n<h3>Hank &amp; Tank vs. The Culling: Minor Hit<\/h3>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t have minded a tag title change, since The Culling could use a boost in the wins column.
